Hillary Clinton a Driving Force? Not So Much, but She's in Great Company.

At the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans today to keynote the closing session of the NADA Convention, Hillary Clinton told the auto dealers that she has not driven a car since 1996. It does not mean she is not "connected." It only means she is protected. Others as well (for those who know).

She reminded me of another brilliant, beautiful, astonishing, and accomplished blonde who avoids
driving if she can help it. As Queen Elizabeth, Helen Mirren appeared quite competent behind the
wheel and reminded the groundskeeper at Balmoral that she was a mechanic
during World War II. As Helen, she negotiated her lap elegantly and earned a top score, but
she looked miserable behind the wheel on the British version of Top
Gear in 2008. She admitted that she does not really like cars much and
that her first car exploded.

Well, when you have the pedigrees these two ladies possess, other
people are happy to chauffeur you around (I would). While they are separated by
one degree several times over, my favorite is that Helen became Dame of
the British Empire in 2003, the same year as Jane Goodall. Hillary
and Dr. Goodall both received honorary degrees from Scotland's St. Andrews University at the same ceremony last September.

On a somber note, Hillary spoke about Benghazi. If I am not mistaken, this
is her first public statement about it since leaving the State
Department last February.

@U.S. Senate: Time to ratify LOST!

"... ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, which has provided the international framework for exploring these new opportunities in the Arctic. We abide by the international law that undergirds the convention, but we think the United States should be a member, because the convention sets down the rules of the road that protect freedom of navigation, provide maritime security, serve the interests of every nation that relies on sea lanes for commerce and trade, and also sets the framework for exploration for the natural resources that may be present in the Arctic." -HRC, 06-03-12, Tromso Norway

Hillary because...

She would never have allowed social safety nets to be "on the table."

Hillary! Leadership we need!
